The Florida Gators picked up their third commitment of the week on Friday when an in-state defensive back committed to Florida.
Defensive back Teddy Foster (6-2, 170, Sarasota, FL. Cardinal Mooney) committed to Florida on Friday over North Carolina and Miami.
“I thank all of the schools that recruited me, if you ain’t a Gator, you’re Gator Bait,” Foster said.
Foster has visited Gainesville twice this summer and this past time he was on campus, he went over film of the Gators’ defense with defensive backs coach Corey Raymond.
“Just breaking down development, watch film and watch my film,” he said on the highlights of the trip. “Evaluate how I would fit into the schemes, going over practice and seeing how many reps I would get as a freshman. Just working on details and making sure everything would fit me.”
The Gators offered Foster during the spring and ever since then his relationship with Raymond has grown.
“It’s actually pretty good,” Foster said on his relationship with Raymond. “He came down for practice and stayed the whole practice and offered me and a younger teammate. We’ve just been staying in touch since then and it’s just been ongoing. It has been a great experience.”
Foster is the 20th commitment of the Class of 2024 for Florida and is the first corner to commit but he joins a defensive backs class that features Xavier Filsaime and Josiah Davis.
Foster is also the third commit of the week for Florida as offensive lineman Fletcher Westphal committed on Monday and defensive lineman Kendall Jackson committed on Wednesday.
